• Prepare engineering calculations, design reports, specifications, drawings, and engineering change packages.
• Support licensing activities including safety analysis reports, technical specifications, topical reports, and other regulatory documentation.
• Participate in design reviews and milestone assessments to verify design completeness and compliance.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and application of nuclear industry best practices.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of relevant mechanical engineering experience for Level 10.
• 10+ years of relevant mechanical engineering experience for Level 11.
• Advanced degree may be considered in lieu of a portion of required experience.
• Experience designing complex mechanical systems, pressure vessels, or multidisciplinary engineered systems.
• Strong understanding of configuration management principles and design control processes.
• Experience supporting engineering activities under quality programs such as ASME NQA-1 or ISO 9001.
• Excellent technical writing, communication, and presentation skills.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently and effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Ability to manage competing technical priorities and multiple concurrent assignments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with commercial nuclear reactor systems or advanced reactor technologies.
• Experience with high-temperature pressure vessels or related mechanical systems.
• Experience developing technical documentation supporting system architecture and design.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred but not required.
• Familiarity with nuclear licensing processes and regulatory requirements.
